Dr. Haider is an ASCE fellow and Professor in the Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) Department at Michigan State University (MSU). He holds a BSc. (Honors, 1989) in Civil Engineering from the University of Engineering and Technology (UET), Lahore, Pakistan, M. Eng. (1993) in Transportation and Geotechnical Engineering from the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), Thailand, and a Ph.D. (2004) in Civil Engineering from MSU, USA.
Dr. Haider has over thirty (30) years of diverse professional, research, outreach, and teaching experience, developing state-of-the-art methods and practical applications in statistical quality assurance, material characterization, pavement performance modeling and analysis, asset management systems, and preservation. His research experience includes work on system evaluations, risk analysis, reliability-based designs, quality assurance in road construction, pavement management systems, LTPP data analysis, sustainable pavement rehabilitation, material characterization, mechanistic-empirical pavement analysis, design procedures, local calibrations of the performance models, axle load characterization, WIM data accuracy, and non-destructive pavement evaluations.
He has supervised several master’s and doctoral students. Dr. Haider has led several sponsored research studies worth over $20 million at the international, national, and state levels. The sponsoring agencies include the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP), the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT), and Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT). He has authored and co-authored over 200 technical publications (72 peer-reviewed journals, over 130 peer-reviewed conference proceedings and presentations, and 50 reports). Nationally, he is active in NCHRP, TRB, ASCE, and IJPE. Dr. Haider is a registered professional engineer in Michigan.
Dr. Haider has developed and taught various undergraduate and graduate courses (including risk analysis in civil engineering, probability and statistics, engineering economics, statics, surveying, pavement design and rehabilitation, engineering materials, soil mechanics, reliability-based design, and pavement management) in the CEE Department at MSU. Dr. Haider has developed and taught several short courses and workshops for practitioners from highway agencies, consultants, and contractors. The training session topics include asphalt pavement recycling, pavement management systems, mechanistic pavement analysis & design, construction quality control, and assurance.
